It's Only Money

Titles Are Hard

Lauren had continued on with her day after Camila fell back to sleep. She had ran a few errands and was now making a sandwich for lunch when she movement out of the corner of her eye. She looked over at the girl who had previously still been fast asleep.

Camila had now moved to a sitting position but had her head in her hands, trying to coax her headache.

Lauren grabbed a glass from the cabinet and filled it with water. She then retrieved some Advil from her bathroom. Taking the pills and water, she walked over to the smaller girl on the couch.

Camila glanced up and saw that Lauren was offering her what she really needed. She gently took the pills and glass from Lauren's hand and mumbled an incoherent thank you.

"Do you want me to walk you home?"

That's when it hit Camila for the second time. She didn't have a home anymore. She had no money and no family willing to help her. She had lost the privileges of family when she had used them for their money last time. They told her she was no longer welcome.

Camila had absolutely no where to go.

She felt the familiar lump in her throat as her eyes began to sting. She looked at the glass of water in her hand and realized how thirsty she really was. She quickly swallowed the pills and guzzled the water.

"Make sure you don't make yourself sick again...hey what's wrong?" Lauren asked as she saw some of the girl's makeup streaming down her face.

"I...I don't...have...anywhere to...anywhere to...to go," Camila said, now fully crying.

Lauren, taking the opportunity, sat next to the girl and took her hand.

"What do you mean?"

"I...I...I..." Camila stuttered in between sobs. "I got kicked out," she said with a defeated voice. She hung her head low and took her hand away from Lauren's.

Lauren didn't ask questions but stood up, picking up the empty cup from the end table and going to refill it.

"Do you want anything to eat?"

"No thank you," Camila mumbled.

Lauren didn't even know the girl's name, but she knew she would not leave her without a place to stay.

By the time Lauren returned to the couch, Camila had already fallen back to sleep.

Heelooo! Guys I'm so excited to start writing all the fluff and cute stuff. Writing all this intro stuff is boring. I've got school tomorrow but I'll probably be able to update later tonight or tomorrow night. Let me know what you think and give me some suggestions.

How are you guys today?
